1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Mountainous urban rail transit stations exhibit distinct characteristics. To investigate how these features affect passenger flow variations at rail stations, we analyze geographic-environmental data surrounding the stations and integrate road network topology, automatic fare collection data, and point-of-interest (POI) data. We propose a method to classify rail transit stations by considering the mountainous features and establish a multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model to assess the classification results. This study focuses on 189 rail stations in Chongqing, identifying six station categories: comprehensive mountainous, comprehensive non-mountainous, employment mountainous, employment non-mountainous, residential mountainous, and residential non-mountainous. The MGWR results show that road growth coefficients, average longitudinal slopes, and road lengths significantly influence station performance. For instance, the average longitudinal slope substantially affects employment in mountainous stations, particularly during the morning peak. The analysis reveals that the average longitudinal slope exerts a stronger negative effect on morning peak inbound passenger flow at employment mountainous stations (-0.949), indicating that commuters are more sensitive to travel time during the morning peak. In contrast, the evening peak inbound passenger flow is less impacted (-0.409), suggesting that evening commuters face fewer time constraints. These findings offer strategic insights for zoning transit stations to support transit-oriented development(TOD).
